    Old Tires..... Pictures

    My local track offers drifting days. I've never tried it outside of short stints in parking lots and on back roads. I'm eager to give it a try because even in my limited experience, you learn an awful lot about puttin gthe car on the edge, but still just barely in control.

    Cruise and BBQ in NOVA

    I got a call yesterday from Ourisman Dodge in CHantilly. They want to host a cruise and will provide a BBQ lunch of some sort. They said any Saturday we want to fly, they will reserve parking for us in front of the store. They just ask for 2 weeks notice. Anyone want to propose dates?

    Old Tires..... Pictures

    I just got new tires from JonB. Saved my old run-craps to use as drifters. They had plenty of tread but so little traction that I get zero smoke when spinning them, they just slide like I'm on ice.

    Tinted Windows

    I went 24 years without a ticket and last November got busted for 5 of them in VA. 79 MPH in a 65, tinted windows too dark, no front plate, wrong color running lights (I've got these evil looking red lights on the Black vert), and expired inspecition sticker. I was angry at myself for...

    Time for new tires!

    JonB - PartsRack just came through for me. I has to put new feet on the Black Beast. The old run craps were great drifter tires, but lousy at actually making the car move anywhere in particular. Now it's great. Can't wait for the next Viper Cruise. I shoped around quite a bit and JonB...

    SRT Drive

    So given your expereince, would you say it was worth the money or would you rather take that same amount of $$$ and put it towards a track day in your own car?

    Cruise Saturday, March 08

    I would be up for a karting adventrue, but to REAL MEN, the cold doesn't matter. Here's my cruise report. Great time yesterday even if only 3 Vipers and a Supra made the drive. The course is a blast and the club will no doubt have a lot of fun when we repeat it for the official NOVA cruise...

    Cruise Saturday, March 08

    When I originanlly proposed this, the forecast for Saturday looked good. Now it's 50% chance of rain but Sunday is looking good, if a little on the cool side. If the group would prefer to schedule this for Sunday that's fine by me. I talked to NSRENDR - Joe. He is on his way to Puerto...

    2002 FE R/W Hennessey 800 comes to NOVA

    Oh, they don't give out that sort of info to just anyone. They limit privledged information to only those who drive the fastest Vipers in the region. ;) Actually one of the service managers, Rob is very good. If you want to connect with someone, he plays matchmaker and makes all the calls.

    2002 FE R/W Hennessey 800 comes to NOVA

    I haven't had a chance to see it yet. The f$%#ing flu struck and I've been stuck at home. I'll get the owners name and phone from Ourisman and see if we can recruit the new car onto our next cruise.

    2008 Schedule Of Events

    Lee, sounds like a great year. I block out the dates as much as possible. I'll be happy to help Kelly set up the 28 June event, but I think I have to be in Vegas that week.

    2008 Schedule Of Events

    Sounds like a lot of fun and you'll be covering ground where I grew up. I was about to volunteer the family home on Willoughby Spit to house 3 over nighters, but just realized I've already booked travel that week. If you plan another Norfolk area cruise, let me know with a bit more warning...

    SRT Experience

    I pay $250 to drive 2 hours on my local no name road course, tearing up my own car. For $400 to tear up someone else's cars *at Daytona*, that sounds like a deal to me. I might not do it twice, but I'll surely do it once. One of the great things about this forum is the diverse opinions you...

    SRT Experience

    I just signed up for May 10th at Daytona. If you will be there on any of the days, 9th, 10th, or 11th, PM me and we'll meet up. I'm staying with a friend and only 4 miles from the track. Sadly I won't have a Viper with me but I would love to see yours.

    2002 FE R/W Hennessey 800 comes to NOVA

    I just got a call from Ourisman Chantilly Dodge. They just took in a 2002 FE Red/White Twin Turbo Hennessey* 800. I'm going to drop by tonight to take a look at it. Anyone know who belongs to this car? And when are we going to see it on a VA/MD Cruise? *Special request to...
